I know I don't get serious in here very often but I want to say thank you

[VelmaD]

to everyone who has donated to Andy. It means the world to me. It reminds me of why I love this place and why I'm honored to call so many of you friends. I'm still in awe of your generosity and I don't have the words to say what's in my heart. So I'm going to settle for a simple thank you and hope you all understand. Thank you. :grouphug:

2. I think it is at 27k now.

GD has a bunch of threads about hitting the $25k point.

Edited to clarify my comment about lots of threads on GD.

4. Yup...

there's another $23,000 to go to pay for the other half of the surgery. But at least now we know he'll get in and get it done and we have a little bit of breathing space again. *relieved sigh* :)

GD disintegrates into a flamefest I'm gonna pull some of the threads today about Andy back out to remind myself that sometimes it can be very very good around here too. :)

7. Remarkable, innit??

I don't know Andy at all, but I felt compelled to help given all that he's done.

I was watching that thread so closely this AM waiting to see it hit $25k!!

What an amazing display of solidarity and compassion!! :hug:
